What would Summer styling be without a belt to keep your pants cinched? The Burton Bradley Belt comes in two patterns, “Aloha Weed Print” and “Fishing Lures.” Both prints are nice, but we prefer the lures, because it screams Summer and it also matches our Beeracuda perfectly.

Topping off the Summer collection for Burton is a little something to keep your dome looking fresh and the sun out of your eyes. The Expedition Hat is a 5-panel classic “ball cap” that shows off your allegiance to Burton with a simple mountain logo and the words: “Expedition, Adventure and Burton” across the front. If you’re trendy (unlike us) keep your bill ironed flat and crisp. If you’re looking for something more functional bend the bill and keep the sun at bay. Either way you’ll love this comfy / rugged hat.
